i agree he should go back on a 450...the 350sxf might be good for supercross but come nationals time he should hop back on the 450sxf. Every review i seen about the 350sxf was pretty bad. I rode one and it was okay, i like my kawi better but the stock suspension on the ktm350sxf was pretty bad. In my transworld mag they tell u what to put in to fix the suspension problem but its like over 2 grand in suspension work.
@BassHead4Life1 i agree for the pros maybe riding a 450 for nationals is a better idea, but for amateurs the 350 is such a sick bike. and i love the suspension. finally KTM went with linkage and ive never ridden a kawi but KTM definitely made the right choice about going to linkage. As an amateur, the 350 has plenty of power and runs with the big bikes no problem, i still get consistant holeshots, and i actually really like how it handles...
i love how everyone said he was gonna be the next big thing. he made so many people disappointed but i was never disappointed i never believed the hype cause there never was any.
Put Alessi on the 450!!! Normal guys like you and I are faster on the 350...Alessi and Shorty can't podium without the 450. Let Cairoli carry the 350 sales in Europe.
the debate should be over whether this bike should REALLY be allowed to race with 450's. ktm has always made weird motor displacement motorcycles. remember the 105? really? i love the bike dont get me wrong. and look.. alessi is riding and OUTDOOR style motocross track… not SX… he'll show his flash of speed this year and good starts. but i doubt that he'll even hit the podium more then a few times. let alone be at the top.
mike alessi hasnt ridden US supercross in a year. stewart hasnt ridden in a year or so. cairoli has never raced US sx. your prediction is completely off base dude. dungey is coming off a HOT streak. VERY HOT. what happened in stewarts first sx race in the big bore class. wrecked in practice in phoenix and broke his arm. hes not going to be consistant, neither is alessi. dungey. all the way. he may not win every race. but he is damn consistant. ive raced for 15 years, its all about consistancy.
@ridemx323 You are so right on this one. Mx is all about consistancy, which some riders really aren't. Dungey is an extreme example of consistancy, I wish I could see him ride the 350.
@ridemx323 It very much is. Forgot what year it was but Grant Langston snagged a championship because he was getting 2nd place like everyrace with 1st and 3rd spots changing every race between like 5-8 other racers.
Should've seen the look on people's faces, dude got a championship without ever once winning a race.
wrong choice choosing to ride the 350. mike was well known for his starts which are crucial at pro level and KTM have take that advantage away from him. it could be better in supercross for him tho we will have to see
350 doesnt kill the 450.. he holeshotted almost every race on rmz450 and now his on a ktm and 350.. his well, shit this yr compared to alst yr, KTM is the only team who would put up with the alessi's shit.
i want a 350... i'm not even a ktm rider, i've always liked them, but haven't raced one since 05 on 85s. but i hate 450s, so a 350 is a good intermediate ground IMO. more power, but can still be ridden like a 250.
also any good rider knows it the rider not the bike.i rode AMA pro for a while and still can go out to local tracks and on my cr125 still chase down and pass guys on 450's.don't jump on the hype.we all know mike alessi is a very gifted rider,but all of us people that are not on the circuit need to remember that now you get a bike because you want it not because some magazines say its the future.magazines and those riders get paid to say that.test riders are paid off too its th rider not the bike
@StrictlyMotocross i went to the closest ktm dealer, asked how long the waiting list was and put a deposit down for the bike i guess you could ring them too but i wanted to go and check all the bikes out
@ouchmybrain7 down in fresno ca. at wilsons cycle they have 9 there that haven't been bought yet.check them out.these bikes are ok but i know alessi goes through at least 2-3 engines a weekend.these bikes have to be ridden like a 250.
@ouchmybrain7 maybe thats true but when i rode AMA pro in 99-00 our kawis 250 go once a weekend.the new 450's i have seen last longer than that just clutches and minor stuff on a clean weekend.250's whole different story those things stretch valves and wear guides fast.the 350 will be fun but at AMA level its alot more money.just have fun with it and you should be good!!!!!try a backflip!!!!!take care bud
the 350 is purfect. i like how the 250f's ride but could use more power in some aeras and the 450;s beat you up and heavier. a 250 2 stroke is kinda the best in between but now the 350 is here i guss its if you like 4 strokes or 2 strokes more? this will make a great mx er and offroader. it can do eveything
I dont get it. If this bike is so fast How come Mike said it didn't have enough power to jump Larocco's leap??? guys on 250f's were jumping it. Tony Cairoli even said it was underpowered.
@WillSinnProductions The bike is awsome, and It has plenty of power! Just when you get right down to it the bike is underpowered against the 450 competitors. The bike could easily keep up with 450's on tight MX tracks, and supercross tracks. but when you line this bike up against 39 other pros on built 450's this bike is going to have a tough time coming out on top. Yes, Mike and Tony have proven it can be done, but I'm sure they didnt do it easily.
ahh i love ktm lol i'm picking up my '12 350 tomorrow, i'll have a vid up within a week if anyone wants to check out my channel ;)

Many people who ride a 450 cant ride the bike 100%...because its a monster.
Then this bike is a good option...i think.
Cant wait to test the bike !
Personaly i cant imagine this bike is so much faster then 250F...but Cairoli and Alessi already demonstrated it is.
